Arnaud Lambert, Saumur Rouge Clos du Tue Loup, 2022
Arnaud Lambert farms the legendary hill of Brézé and surrounding Saumur terroirs with the conviction of someone who has found their place in the world. His Clos du Tue Loup is a single-parcel Cabernet Franc from chalkier, more precise soils than the broader appellation — biodynamically farmed, native-fermented, raised in old oak. Brézé is where Saumur's tuffeau is deepest and the wines most electric; Lambert's rouge from this terroir is lean, mineral, and persistently alive. It reads less like Loire Cab Franc and more like a wine from somewhere between Burgundy and the chalk cliffs — unique and worth knowing.
